I have to say a lot of the story writing around GumRoad itself seems to be an attempt to attract new customers as they have told multiple narratives that are all click-baity (from trying to be a billion dollar startup to a weekend project making big bucks). Almost all projects start small. I am a solo founder and my "venture" also started as a Python script I wrote over the weekend to help with my own investing. But it's taken a lot more work since then to actually make it accessible and useful for people who are not me. The real question is did he finish and make significant revenue from that weekend version? It looks like a heavily VC funded startup that did not produce the growth at par with the funding. For a solo company, this would be terrific. For a VC one, probably mediocre. Not too bad, but it can be deceptive to other entrepreneurs reading this as "inspiration".
